LAS VEGAS -- I wanted to believe Jon Jones.When we sat down in Los Angeles last week to talk about his life and career heading into UFC 200, he was like a movie producer scripting out his improbable comeback story and the happy ending that was awaiting him around the corner.I want to show the world that you can be down but never out, Jones told me. I want to be a story where someone risked losing so much but ultimately turned everything around. A lot of times you hear these stories about athletes who ruined their career and they go away and no one knows what happened to them, or theyre bankrupt or they end up in jail. They just ruined a great career. I want to be one of the few stories you hear where I was ruining things but ultimately turned things around and became a hero. Thats my vision for the way my story is going to play out.Like most scripts in Hollywood, however, it became apparent Wednesday night that Jones comeback story was nothing more than a facade -- a fictional tale that would never play out the way he had envisioned it.Jones was pulled from his UFC light heavyweight championship fight against Daniel Cormier, the main event of Saturdays UFC 200, after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency informed Jones of a potential doping violation Wednesday night. On Thursday morning, an emotional Jones apologized for the incident at a news conference.I want to apologize; I really dont know what to say, Jones said. Im really sorry about this happening.Jones wiped away tears during the news conference, leaving after five minutes to compose himself before returning to a dais that was stripped of any UFC signage before the news conference began.The whole situation really sucks, Jones said. It really sucks, really hurts a lot. They supposedly found something in one of my samples that I have no clue what it is. I dont even know how to pronounce it. Ive been taking the same supplements for the majority of my career. Ive been so outspoken about being against any type of performance enhancers. Im still to this day extremely against performance enhancers. The whole thing sucks. Being labeled as someone who would cheat hurts me more than anything else Ive ever been through in my career.Although this is the first time Jones has tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug, he did test positive for traces of cocaine prior to a fight against Cormier at UFC 182 last year. Jones, who turns 29 later this month, could face a two-year ban as a first-time offender under the anti-doping program.If I do have to sit out two years, I will definitely be back, Jones said. Im already thinking about the good that can happen. Im optimistic. But man, at the end of the day, Im a fighter. Im a fighter. Even though I may seem broken up here, Im not broken. Im just really upset.For all of the people who believed in me, continue to believe in me, because this story isnt over and the best is yet to come.It was hard to hear Jones talk about a reboot of his comeback story on Thursday and not be incredulous. As much as wed like to see a happy ending to this comeback story, the warning signs wont stop popping up.Jones, who has won 13 straight fights since 2010, has a pristine record inside the Octagon. If his career ended today, he would go down as one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in UFC history, but his biggest opponent has consistently been himself. No one has done more damage to Jon Jones during his career than Jon Jones.The only reason he was even talking about a comeback story heading into UFC 200 was because he was involved in a hit-and-run accident in New Mexico that led to him being sentenced to 18 months of supervised probation and forced the UFC to strip him of his light heavyweight title. He talked about his changed ways after being reinstated, only to be arrested and booked for violating his probation in an alleged drag racing incident.Jones denied drag racing at the time, and he denied taking any performance-enhancing drugs on Thursday, but he has lost the benefit of the doubt with the public. The mistakes or accidents we could once chalk up to misunderstandings or aberrations no longer apply. Jones missteps are starting to frame a legacy that he always wanted to be defined by his record in the Octagon, not outside it.Ive always thought about my legacy, Jones told me last week. I had always envisioned going down as the greatest of all time and thats never left my sights. Im very conscious of my legacy and how Ill be remembered down the road. I also realize now how you live your life outside the sport is important to your legacy, and Im trying hard to do things right from here on out. Im in the fight of my life for my legacy inside and outside of the Octagon.Its a fight that became significantly harder on Wednesday, against an opponent Jones has proved he has had a hard time dealing with -- himself.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The New York Jets turned coach Todd Bowles return to the desert into a night to forget.Listless and overmatched, the Jets lost 28-3 to the Arizona Cardinals on Monday for their fourth straight defeat in a season that has quickly spiraled away from them.They beat us all the way around, Bowles said. They beat us in the secondary. They beat us on the offensive line. They beat us in the linebacker position. They beat us clean.New Yorks offense appeared at times to be going through the motions, plagued by penalties -- many at inopportune times -- and an inability to convert third downs.Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick had a lackluster game, missing badly on several throws and tossing an interception in the end zone to end New Yorks lone sustained drive.The Jets run defense, one of their few strengths, was gouged for huge holes, allowing David Johnson to run for three touchdowns.New York (1-5) dropped to the bottom of the AFC East and is ahead of only winless Cleveland for worst record in the AFC.This was not what Bowles had in mind in his first game back in Arizona, where spent two seasons as defensive coordinator under Arizona coach Bruce Arians. Nor was it for Arians.I dont like it. Im glad its over, Arians said. But Im glad our team won the game.The Cardinals (3-3) dominated from the start, scoring on Johnsons 58-yard touchdown in the opening quarter. He added a pair of 2-yard scoring runs and finished with 111 yards on 22 carries against a run defense that had allowed 68 yards per game, second-best in the NFL through the first five games.New Yorks offense sputtered most of the night, settling for a field goal on its one decent drive in the first half. The beleaguered Fitzpatrick thrrew his NFL-worst 11th interception in the third quarter, ending any hope of a comeback, though receiver Brandon Marshall said it was his mistake that led to the pick.dddddddddddditzpatrick finished with 174 yards on 16-of-31 passing with a passer rating of 55.0 before being replaced by Geno Smith in the fourth quarter. Smith was intercepted by Tyrann Mathieu on his sixth pass attempt.Bowles said Fitzpatrick will remain the starter, though his willingness to bring in Smith against the Cardinals could mean hes on a short leash.As an offense, we are just not consistent right now and the offense goes as the quarterback goes, Fitzpatrick said. I have got to play better.Matt Forte was mostly an afterthought, finishing with 19 yards on nine carries, and the Jets managed 33 yards on 14 carries overall.Marshall, New Yorks leading receiver, had three receptions for 70 yards, unable to break free from Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson most of the night.I need to do a better job of getting open, Marshall said. I played against a really good corner, but if I expect our team to be better, then Ive got to make more plays.New York had 230 total yards, failed on its first eight third-down attempts -- 2 for 13 overall -- and had 10 penalties for 83 yards.The Jets have had some key injuries, but arent willing to blame those for their failings. They need to play better no matter whos in there.I dont want it to get worse and thats the fastest way for it to get worse, when you start pointing the finger, you start crying, Marshall said. Youve got to look in the mirror and fix you first. ' ' '
